User Controller Scripts - Help!

[logic_user99]

Hollaback. I'm having no luck whatsoever with this here task of setting up my Block as a control surface in Live 7. It works just fine under regular MIDI control, but I want the encoders to 'blue hand' the macro knobs, and 16 of the pads to control the visible pads on a drumrack.

I've got the UserScript text file in the right place, and set up as best I can, but it's still not playing ball. It shows up in the list and an even be 'locked' to a device but it still ain't playing!

Come correct me! What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I thought you were selling your Block...?

Anyway, what's your midi preferences settings? What've you got in the remote surfaces section?

Edit: and maybe the contents of your script file would be useful to check over...

The sale's still on the cards, although I suddenly felt compelled to try this out last night!

Moar details to follow...

Here's the config file text; I've highlighted the changes in red. It's in a folder called 'block (Controls)' in the right place (!) within the 7.0.10 directory and Live seems to pick it up but there's still no blue hand action. Help?

# Config File for User-defined Instant Mappings

# We assume that the controls on your MIDI controller
# send CCs (except for pads). All controls that do not have
# an explicit channel setting are expected to use the
# global channel. CCs & Notes are counted from 0-127
# and channels from 0-15.

[Globals]
# The channel that the controller should send on
GlobalChannel: 1 (controller is sending on Ch2)
# If your controller is connected via USB, replace ControllerName
# with the name of the respective port. Live will then try to
# recognize the ports for you when you select your Instant-Mappings
InputName: block (Controls) (name as it appears in Live - it changes to 'block Input' when I've got it mapped as a surface; neither seem to work)
OutputName: block (Controls)
# If your controller has pads that send notes, you can use them to
# play the visible pads in your DrumRacks. Just replace the -1 for
# the note (and channel) of the respective pad. The arrangement of
# the pads in the DrumRacks is as follows:
# 1 2 3 4
# 5 6 7 8
# 9 10 11 12
# 13 14 15 16
# (If you leave the channel of a pad at -1, Live will assume that
# the pad uses the global channel) (these pads are the corresponding notes on the block)
